After watching the film for the first time in one of the most beautiful cinemas in the Portuguese capital, São Jorge, the Morgado brothers sealed the end of this journey with a tight hug. Diogo, who always wears his heart on his sleeve, seemed at that moment to crumble like a house of cards. Pedro, who is the most reserved person ever, managed to hold his emotions serving, as he has done all his life, as his brother’s pillar.

Funnily enough, hours before this moment, Diogo had told me, while he was giving me a ride on his motorbike after an interview, that when they were kids after long days at the beach, his brother Pedro used to fall asleep when riding with him.

I heard the audience's applause, and just like Diogo, my eyes filled with tears, and then I found myself wondering if that was the moment Pedro used to dream of when using his brother as a cushion, sleeping while his hair was being blown by the wind...

Ao contrário do que acontece na maior parte dos projectos, neste tenho-me mantido em contacto com os meus colegas quase que diariamente.

A Joana vive em LA e, por obra do destino, estava em Portugal no dia da estreia e quis logo vir apoiar-me. É incrível como a distância e o tempo nunca atenua a nossa amizade. Já agora ela também tem um filme no cinema, espreita o trailer e vai vê-lo! / Joana lives in LA, but thanks to the universe, she was in Portugal on the day of the premiere and said she would like to come and support me.
